Fuel Smugglers of Balochistan
1×11min film for BBC Eye Investigations
These fuel riders, some as young as 15, are part of an old trafficking network that runs through some of the most remote and treacherous terrain on earth through Pakistan’s Balochistan region.
This BBC Eye documentary gains exclusive access to riders who risk their lives to carry hundreds of litres of flammable fuel on the long and insanely dangerous journey across Pakistan’s poorest province — and sees firsthand how the US and Israeli war on Iran has led to a new fuel smuggling boom in the “Strait of Balochistan.”
